Fails and kicks error in recovery "Error Unable to Backup Boot Image" then stops. Tried it with /system and /data mounted and unmounted in recovery.
CWM 5.8.3.4
Stock rooted 9.4.2.15
help here is appreciated guys?
Edit: upgraded to Jellybro and still no joy on CWM, have since swithed recovery to TWRP and all is well
So i've posted pieces of this in other threads assuming i knew what the problem was, but nobody has been able to help me so far so i'm posting the whole saga anew.
First off, my phone:
LazyPanda S-OFF
HBOOT:1.12.111
RADIO-1.12.11.0809
I was running MeanRom 4.8 with TWRP 2.3.0.1
Like so many others i tried to OTA update just to get stuck at the recovery screen on reboot. I then found out that i had no ROM installed. I tried to wipe (cache, dalvik, system, etc) and flash a new ROM but i kept getting FAIL messages in TWRP.
"Formatting and mounting partition...
e:error in /sdcard/meanrom-ics-v49-jewel-ltevo.zip
(status 1)
error flashing zip '/sdcard/meanrom-ics-v49-jewel-ltevo.zip'
updating partition details"
I figured it might be a botched DL so i did it manually, MD5 checked out after copying to the mounted device. Attempted to flash the clean DL and i got the same error message. I nandroid restored an old stock rooted ROM I had and it installed just fine. After booting up to the system ROM for the first time I immediately got an "Internal storage is low" error. Checked and after a clean restore (no apps installed, fresh out of the box...) i only have ~200MB free in the app storage section (out of 1.92GB). I can't fathom what's taking up all the other space, nothing seems to be there. Because of this i can't install Titanium, Rom Toolbox, or anything else that may be remotely useful. I tried fixing permissions and re-wiping, re-restoring and i got the same thing.
I tried to flash the TWRP 2.2.2.0 image from recovery thinking this was the problem and got this message:
"updating partition details
E:unable to open ums lunfile 'sys/class/android_usb/android/f_mass_sto.....
Formatting cache...done
Formatting Data... done
Using rm -rf on .android_secure
Updating partition details
E:unable to open ums lunfile 'sys/class/android_usb/android/f_mass_sto.....
E:unable to open zip file."
And THEN i tried to ABD flash the TWRP image through fastboot with "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img" then 'fastboot flash boot openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img' and got this error:
"FAILED (remote partition is not allowed to be flushed!)"
So, i'm stuck with a device that loads a stock ROM, cant flash a new recovery or ROM, and cant' install anything useful because it's full after a restore. Does anyone have any suggestions how to clean/resore my partitions through ADB or a script? Your advice is much appreciated.
I can't help, but I suspect you'd have better luck posting this in the TWRP thread.
I'm wondering if fastboot erase cache would help here. I've seen that command used I think to clean a partition, but it may have been for something else. Sorry, this is a bit over my head. Hope you get help.

You might have to re lock and run the RUU and then unlock and flash twrp, 2.3 has issues with the partitions for some reason so stick to 2.2
Try updating to the latest twrp. The latest is 2.3.1.0 not 2.3.0.1.
2.3.0.1 had issues which you can read about here

It's been updated already? Cool

Yeah, it fixes the mounting of the sdcards and the flashing rom problem
You may also want to get the 1.12.2222 hboot from the unlimited site. It has fastboot commands enabled.
I noticed you tried flashing TWRP to both the recovery and boot partitions...Do you get the same error when you flash to just recovery? TWRP should not be on boot.

Hi,
I have been using illusion rom with android 4.3 on my i777 it has cwm based recovery 6.0.3.4.
In order to flas a different rom when I started the device in recovery and did wipe date, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system and tried to install zip from SD but I started getting this error " E:Cant mount /sdcard/". Now when I tried to reboot it I get stuck in boot loader.
My device is able to go into download mode
Is there any way around to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot
Hi all,
I have Samsung A5 2016 and I tried to update my phone through latest Naugat official firmware using by Odin however it turned out something wrong. My first problem is when I enter the boot screen, ''installing update'' screen pops up and then ''no comment screen'' afterward. Second problem is that boot screen shows an error says E: failed to find /misc partition. I've read tons of post however I couldn't figure this out.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me.
Thank you & Best!
Hi
My message has been moved here

Thanks
Anybody know how to deal with the E: failed to find /misc partition? I saw this come up on my SM-J700T after I tried to flash TWRP. The flash passed but TWRP was not successfully installed. Probably because I did not prevent reboot and reboot in a proper way . But now I have been all around the barn trying to recover and eventually get twrp and root. I flashed several stock roms with lots of errors and finally got the phone running with Nougat 7.1.1 but the E: failed to find /misc partition error remained on the phone all the while. I was unable to use Odin to re-partition due to errors and have been trying to figure out how to use adb, also with errors (yesterday I launch "abd devices" and get a listing for my device (I think- it is not properly identified) and it lists the device properly, today it lists the same device as unauthorized. So what I really would like to do is completely wipe the phone and start fresh but I only have access to the stock bootloader which allows cache wipe and data wipe- factory reset, which does not wipe the Missing partition. So 1)completely wipe phone 2)install twrp 3)root
Hi, I'm new and have a problem of my own doing.
I loaded the recovery mode and attempted to load TWRP without knowing how to activate Fastboot. Unfortunately, I had wiped the cache partition and rebooted the phone.
It resulted in kicking itself into recovery after a failed boot-up into android, as string of E: can't mount /cache showed. I tried to wipe data/facctory reset and try again but I'm stuck.
If anyone has a possible solution/suggestion, I'm open to do it.
